In this study, a comprehensive review of Bangalore's waste management has been provided to elaborate on the current status. It identifies municipal solid waste management (MSWM) problems and limitations that hamper improvement in the current waste management practices and suggest measures to alleviate these problems.

Bangalore city generates around 4500MT/day of municipal solid waste (MSW) at an average of 0.5 kg/day/per capita, with about 8.4 million people. Less than 60% of waste is collected; approximately 15% of waste is processed finally dumped into landfills.
